This cabin is so lovely! The beds are comfortable, the layout and outdoor spaces are great, and the location is near enough to Dollywood and Gatlinburg but I'm a quieter part of the area. Much of the kitchen equipment needs to be replaced and the kitchen could have been cleaner, but overall, it was a great stay.

This cabin provided us with exactly what we needed… peace and tranquility! The pictures are accurate to what the cabin actually looks like. The roads to get there were a little scary (curvy, narrow mountain roads) but the scenery was breathtaking!! We have already discussed coming back to the “Zen” cabin!!!
